During an August 2023 appearance onEmo’s Not Dead, Martin said that he grew up in San Diego. He spent the majority of his life in private schools, until he transferred to a public one for his junior and senior year.

“Once I got into high school, all I thought about was music and being in a band,” he said. “I was just ready to get out of school, go home so I could play guitar or I could just go to band practice. That’s all I wanted to do.”

A few months earlier, he shared in a February 2023 interview withSkratch ‘N Sniffthat he grew up in a music-oriented household, saying that his dad had the “biggest record collection of anyone I’ve ever met in my life.”

“One of my most important memories growing up is listening to literally everything. Classical music. Rock music. My dad got me into punk music,” Martin said. “And then from my mom’s side … she’s Hispanic, so I grew up on Mariachi music and Cumbias and that influenced the h— out of me, too.”

“I figured out early on in my life that I loved all types of music. I was a very eclectic listener and was digesting, but also dissecting songs at a really young age,” he added.

According to his Instagram bio, Martin currently resides in Los Angeles.
